The music aspect of the game has received mixed reviews, with many players expressing frustration over the removal of the ability to add custom MP3 entrance music, which has led to crashes and diminished enjoyment.

- “I would give you the last two stars if I was able to use the MP3 music I downloaded. When I try to use MP3 music, it just goes to a black screen and then back to the loading screen.”
- “Keeps crashing whenever you try to use custom music.”

The gameplay of the wrestling game has received mixed reviews, with many praising its smooth mechanics, unique abilities, and overall fun experience. However, several users expressed frustration with confusing controls, inconsistent pin and submission mechanics, and occasional bugs that hinder the experience. While some appreciate the creative options and deep career mode, others feel that the game lacks polish and could benefit from improved graphics and more refined mechanics.
- “Super original, easy to control, smooth gameplay and tons of unique abilities.”
- “Love the game, easy controls and smooth gameplay, I'm playing every time I get a chance!”
- “The gameplay is fun, yeah, but I am not paying 5 bucks to make my guy look like my own guy.”
- “Horrible controls and much more; mostly, the controls are just frustrating. This introduces mechanics that are just stupid. For example, the pins and submissions ignore that the referee takes twice as long to count down for me only. The submission and pin are random; it could be the start of the round and the opponent pins you instantly and wins, or you could have pinned them ten times and they still don't lose, but they pin you once and win.”
- “Very bad animation and horrible reversal mechanics. I would not recommend this game.”
- “You have no time to react when you're getting grabbed. Why have that mechanic if you can't fight back? The controls are dumb too; why make something that's trash?”
